Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there any virtue or reward in visiting Mount Sinai?

Answer:
One does not travel for the sake of worship except to three mosques: the Sacred Mosque, my mosque, and al-Aqsa Mosque. As for visiting Mount Sinai for the sake of worship, there is no evidence for this. Yes. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) restricted travel for worship to these three places: the Sacred Mosque, the Prophet’s Mosque, and al-Aqsa Mosque. Yes.
